The Mythical Fusion: Il Fauno di Arcanum
A Legacy Carved in Vines: The Essence of Tenuta di Arceno
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany's Chianti region, Tenuta di Arceno's rich tapestry weaves through centuries, dating back to the early 16th Century with the Del Taja family's vision. This vision blossomed under the stewardship of the Jackson Family Wines Group, transforming a vast 1000-hectare estate into a sanctuary of viticulture excellence. With 92 hectares devoted to vines, the estate's focus on Sangiovese and an enlightened approach to agriculture, segmenting their lands into 63 "micro-crus," underscores a commitment to diversity and quality. This blend of tradition and innovation sets the stage for their Arcanum line, where Bordeaux varietals find a unique expression under the Tuscan sun.
Crafted with Precision, Aged with Wisdom
Il Fauno di Arcanum, a masterful Bordeaux blend, arises from meticulous cultivation and astute blending. Sourced primarily from the estate's lower southwest blocks, the vineyard's clay-rich soils and optimal exposure nurture the grapes to voluptuous ripeness. The blend—41% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and a touch of 5% Petit Verdot—rests in French oak, emerging after 10-12 months as a testament to the harmony between land, grape, and barrel.
Sensory Journey Through Arcanum
This Toscana IGT invites you on a sensory voyage, starting with a bouquet of fresh strawberries and raspberries laced with a breath of menthol. The palate unfolds with layers of ripe plum and cherry, interwoven with floral whispers of rose and honeysuckle. The structure, defined by chewy tannins and vibrant acidity, culminates in a spicy, lingering finish adorned with nutmeg, black licorice, white pepper, and tobacco nuances. A sensory narrative that encapsulates the vibrancy of Tuscany.
The Emblem of Unity: The Faun of Arceno
Mirroring the wine's duality of strength and elegance, the faun statue—half human, half animal—symbolizes the fusion of DOCG and IGT philosophies into a singular, innovative expression. It embodies the estate's ethos: a celebration of heritage while embracing the potential of the new.
